Chapter 1002: Digging Into the Pulse
For a long time, whenever he had free time, Bian Mu would take out the oil paintings painted by Ms. Fang, the former daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and ponder them for a while...
Professor Shen was a smart man. He was sure that Bian Mu might be the only doctor who could help his precious daughter completely walk out of the bleak and chaotic world. From time to time, she would carefully select some of her daughter's sketches or small oil paintings and send them to the old house of the Wu family.
Professor Shen believed that Bian Mu might be able to find some "treatment ideas" from the works painted by his daughter.
Bian Mu didn't have much painting foundation. At most, he copied the portraits of animated characters when he was a child, or the portraits and fighting scenes of martial arts characters that he liked more. As he painted, Bian Mu gradually realized that it was a very difficult and complicated project to display the "psychological scenes" that he imagined in his mind on paper through painting.
For example, when drawing imaginary painting themes such as letting the arms of the portrait characters naturally "grow" from the characters' bodies, the eyes have spirit, and two hostile martial arts masters fight each other, there are many technical details that I can't get started with. At that time, Bian Mu felt that a person who could easily "draw" his imagined psychological world must be quite remarkable!
Later, I learned from my art classmates that learning painting costs a lot of tuition fees, and ordinary working-class families can't afford it. Bian Mu immediately gave up the extravagant hope of seeking further development in painting, and hid his hobby deep in his heart and never opened it again.
Ms. Fang's condition is critical, and ordinary Chinese medicine methods can only be used to "gradually soak and gradually dye" to nurse her patiently. As for the final effect, to be honest, Bian Mu has no idea to this day.
Bian Mu has always been resilient in doing things. Faced with a super difficult case like Ms. Fang, he naturally didn't want to give up easily. He knew better than anyone that at his age, in the process of overcoming difficult diseases, his comprehensive medical skills would only continue to rise, and this "trade" would be cost-effective no matter how he did it.
In the process of studying Ms. Fang's paintings, Bian Mu gradually solved the questions that had accumulated in his heart when he was young. When he really couldn't figure it out, he would call some old patients for advice. Situ Yu was very knowledgeable in this area. From time to time, Bian Mu would ask him for advice through the phone. Situ Yu knew that he had more to ask Bian Mu, so he would tell him everything he knew. If he couldn't answer, he would introduce more talented painters, theoretical critics, etc. to Bian Mu.
Over time, Bian Mu gradually gained a deeper understanding of the principles of oil painting...
Recently, Bian Mu determined that Ms. Fang should be that kind of... extremely smart, full of justice, never give in, and extremely tough personality. The kind of psychological strongman!
Once this kind of person is deeply trapped in a certain psychological dilemma, it is often difficult to extricate himself by relying on his own strength.
Based on the important clues revealed in her paintings, Bian Mu initially determined that completely overthrowing the Lu family might be the only effective "remedy".
The reason why Bian Mu readily agreed to Mrs. Mai's visit to see Manager Shang was that he actually had some selfish motives.
When the financial director surnamed Yan finally "made trouble", Bian Mu suddenly felt that there was hope. Manager Shang was closer to the daily management center of the Lu family. Perhaps, Bian Mu could secretly obtain more effective information from her.
The late big businessman Mr. Shao acted in many ways and eventually left the world with infinite regrets. From her experience, Bian Mu interpreted that if you walk in the gray area for a long time, it will be a disaster for the businessman himself, and he will eventually bury himself completely.
Fang Yiqin has many flaws in his behavior. Bian Mu guessed that Mr. Fang was inevitably suspected of violating regulations and playing tricks in the specific business process.
Luo Jiaming is a little better, and occasionally he also takes a different approach...
Chen Yueqing is roughly the same, and there should be no shortage of "gray spots" on his body.
Mr. Pan's reputation in the Lijin business community has always been controversial.
…
Even if we use the incomplete induction method to simply summarize, Bian Mu guessed that there are objectively many problems in some aspects of the Lijin business community. If things go on like this, the business style will inevitably be somewhat biased, which is not good for everyone. Bian Mu believes that he will have to go into business sooner or later, so he naturally hopes for a proper business atmosphere.
The Lu family was investigated, just like a strong medicine for the Lijin business community. Taking the opportunity to correct the atmosphere, it will benefit everyone without any harm.
Therefore, Bian Mu was naturally very careful when treating Manager Shang.
However…Manager Shang’s pulse was too strange. This was the first time Bian Mu had encountered such a pulse since he started practicing medicine.
“Sometimes it’s like a fish biting a hook, sometimes it’s like a horse running away from its reins, and sometimes it’s like a fish that has escaped from the hook and is wandering around without a trace…What kind of pulse is this?!” Thinking of this, Bian Mu realized that he might really make a mistake today!
It’s too late to look up relevant information in books or on the Internet! Bian Mu was a little embarrassed.
Bian Mu gritted his teeth and forced himself to concentrate his mind, just like playing the guqin, pressing hard and starting lightly, sometimes close and sometimes far, sometimes light and sometimes heavy... He observed carefully, and gradually, sweat appeared on Bian Mu's back...
"Okay! Manager Shang, I have to palpate your back, do you mind?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"No, please!" Manager Shang seemed generous.
"Thank you for your trust!" After saying that, Bian Mu stood up and walked behind Manager Shang, stretched out his left hand and put it on her back to observe for a moment.
"Okay! Manager Shang, do you have wool at home? The kind for knitting sweaters, pure wool, blended, polyester, etc., but it has to be new yarn, old yarn that has been washed and disassembled is not acceptable." As he spoke, Bian Mu looked up at the middle-aged female lawyer sitting next to him.
"Oh! We really don't have that stuff at home. No one knits sweaters for fun! Xiaohui, thank you for your hard work, go out and buy some." After that, Manager Shang sent her cousin to the street to buy wool.
Taking this opportunity, Bian Mu invited Mrs. Mai to chat for a while.
"Her disease is quite special. For example, I guess she may be a kind of 'hook and sink pulse'. If I want to cure her, I may have to ask a lot of personal privacy. She has some identity, otherwise... you communicate with her first?"
"Female privacy?" Mrs. Mai asked back calmly.
"That's not the case. It's about some family affairs of Ms. Shang when she was a child. Maybe I have to ask about some trivial matters of her husband's life. By the way, you told me that she is over fifty?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"Yes! She is 54! She must have passed the threshold of knowing the destiny. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Then she takes good care of herself. Judging from the pulse, she is at most thirty-seven or thirty-eight. You can see that there are no wrinkles on her face. Moreover, there are almost no nasolabial folds below the bridge of the nose. Her face is ruddy. No one of the same age can compare with her!" As he spoke, Bian Mu glanced at Manager Shang.
"Who said it wasn't! She has lived a very comfortable life since she was a child! She has always been the object of our envy!"
"No wonder... then... her mother is old this year?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.
"Let me think... at least 82, what's wrong?" Mrs. Mai asked again.
"What occupation did the old lady do when she was young?" Bian Mu asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mai was a little confused.
